#irreparable harm

[howifeltabouthim]

Perhaps this was an after-life. Vast tracts of his soul no longer existed, his soul was devastated and laid waste, he was functioning with half a soul, with a fraction of a soul, like a man with one lung.

Iris Murdoch, from The Book and the Brotherhood

So much for getting some rest for a few months.

So I’ve just blocked the insane person who tried to justify Perez’s actions on my post by literally saying “he was angry” but idiots aside I’m genuinely concerned that there’s a level of “my baby can do no wrong” that makes someone willing to justify medical endangerment as “my baby was angy and he can express his angy however he wants even if it’s pushing someone’s head after he made impact with a wall at 300km/h”

I have been going through your omori and because im curious, you have been approaching your re-write with the premise that mari killed herself, which is the best choice since it gives mari agency, but how would you approach it if you hypehetically had to keep sunny killing mari?

You wouldn't have to keep the idea of basil and sunny covering her death and keep it as a twist, im just curious because the theme of people commiting irrreparable harm and what it means to continue after that is something i take great intrest in and I would like to know your thoughts on it ^_^

Fair warning - this will get gross. Reader discretion is advised.

Honestly? The best (and only) approach I can think of is making Mari abusive. Preferably sexually. That way, you could keep the plotline of Sunny killing her while giving him an actually understandable reason for doing so. People won't see that Mari getting offed as "commiting irreparable harm", but you know what? Sunny would.

I think this sort of confused feelings would be interesting to explore. He should feel guilty. She deserved to die. What she did to him hurt. He was having fun, so he should keep his mouth shut and not make others' lives worse while they're already grieving. She only ever saw him as a pet, a toy to pleasure herself with, as someone lesser. She loved him like no one else, because surely she wouldn't have gotten him out of the lake otherwise. She was a saint. She was the Devil.

The stress of that... dare I say, nebulous Something weighing on his mind would force him to retreat to Headspace, where he has a more robust support system and Mari is the blameless, flawless angel he wants to see her as.

I suppose foreshadowing of what the exact nature of Sunny's trauma is could be details like his insistence on wearing a turtleneck sweater in the middle of summer or abruptly closing the photo album at "He acts just like Mari's new kitten!" before becoming nauseous. There's also the prominent hands motif throughout the game, which would similarly adopt quite the different meaning in this context.

Perhaps the game could establish a contrast between Sunny, who tries to cover up as much of his body as he can, and Omori, who is barely dressed at all since Headspace is the only place Sunny feels genuinely safe in :)

Bad Touch Mari was actually my very first idea when I got around to thinking of how to rewrite this game lol. I scrapped it because a) even though I did some research, I still didn't feel qualified enough to write about such a heavy topic and b) it made the story way too black-and-white for my liking

OK you know what ? Fuck that. Fuck her. That's it. I'm done with her. Done with her.

Proshippers literally pretend that POCD means you are a pedophile and want it what the fuck are you on about? Proshippers try to force pwOCD to engage in checking compulsions because they pretend it's pro-recovery.

normally this is the kind of ask that i would just quietly delete but i'm actually going to answer it rn because this is so absurd i have to laugh. no, bestie, the people pretending that people with pocd are pedophiles are YOU GUYS. that's all you! antis are the one who i have seen treating intrusive thoughts as secret desires. antis are the ones i've seen with "people with pocd dni" in their bios. and fucking antis are the ones who have made pocd so commonplace on this website in the first fucking place because of the way you try to look for proof people are predators in the most innocuous shit.

believe it or not, part of ocd recovery is accepting the thoughts you have and learning to deal with them in some way. y'all want people to feel ashamed of their intrusive thoughts forever to "prove" they're a good person and that's the exact opposite of healing. that's just making ocd worse. and, in speaking of learning to deal with them, one of the ways to DO that is to write fiction about said thoughts and make them less scary to you! that's part of the reason why i create and enjoy fucked up fictional content! it's a way of dealing with my intrusive thoughts that puts the power back in MY hands, and treating these fictional depictions meant as coping mechanisms as "proof" someone's a predator is not just stupid, it's also cruel, because you are actively trying to make someone's disorder worse.

i guess you missed this part of my original post, so i'll say it again here: when i was an anti, you fucking people had me so convinced i was doomed to sa a child because of 1) the fact i like dark fiction exploring topics such as csa, and 2) my intrusive thoughts themselves, that i thought i was going to have to commit suicide. my life was in danger because of you people. and i was a fucking teenager when this all was happening! i should not have had to deal with that, but because you made this environment so toxic and preyed on my already existing ocd, i did! i was miserable and i hated myself and i thought i was a predator in the making! that's a horrible way to live!

tldr; go fuck yourself anon lmao, you have no idea what you're talking about and the extensive damage people like you have done to people with ocd. fuck off <3

is anyone else thinking about the social climate of early american mafia where these young boys were born and raised in these horrible crowded environments, where you spend your whole day with your family- working, going to school, and sleeping alongside them. is anyone else thinking about the specific kind of social grooming a generation of impoverished men underwent that turned them into grizzled and foul animals, capable of murder. is ANY)ONE ELSE!!! THINKING! about those specific conditions in which a human brain must be put under in order to kill in cold blood before youre even 18....

TW sexual harassment

Reddit is a place where dudes will go on r/helpme, the subreddit where you find the most desperate of the desperate, where people are running from abusers and the complete destruction of their lives, find a post where a teenager is terrified after an encounter with a man following 1 step behind her on multiple escalators, his phone suspiciously positioned, read about her agonizing over her confrontation with the guy where she yelled for help (where nobody did) until he gave his phone to check for pictures, saw sexual pictures of OTHER women’s legs, and felt so horribly guilty about invading the guy’s privacy that she asked for advice, and then these guys will upvote the top comment calling her a moron who makes men fear for their lives.

Notably, the top comment with zero advice on r/helpme, an advice subreddit where the OP will read every comment bc it’s not made for ragebait. It’s not made for ragebait because nobody reads that subreddit, so why bother trolling for views on there? It gets no views because it’s full of depressing pleas for help with no solution in sight. So there are no views and no comments, and hundreds of posts from the desperate.

And so that child will be desperate to read any comment, and she’ll read that top comment calling her a moron who ruins men’s lives, where they’ll openly admit they have no empathy for her, and then she’ll read the next 10 of them with dozens of upvotes each because her desperate plea for help has somehow turned into another small piece of fuel for the ragebait algorithm. And they won’t even see what’s wrong with that when you point that out to them.

i’m so frustrated with people’s lack of common sense about wildlife. if you’re interacting with wildlife, you’re not having your disney princess moment. you’re not forming a magical bond. that’s a wild animal who is potentially terrified; maybe it’s curious if it’s young enough, but that just means you should minimise interactions as much as possible to make sure that animal lives a normal life. if your kid comes in holding a wild animal, don’t pick up your fucking phone to videotape it. bring the animal back outside and educate your kid to leave animals alone. you know what happens when you take in wildlife as a “pet”? either you keep it and do damage because even though it’s “tame” it’s a wild animal who is in no way meant to live in that setting unless it’s being kept by a trained and licensed rehabber who knows the housing and feeding requirements (and even then i’ve seen some who are keeping animals irresponsibility), or it ends up at a wildlife rehab when you inevitably harm it enough that you don’t know what to do, or when no vets see you, or when the animal becomes too aggressive for you to handle. and then we either figure out how to rehabilitate an animal whose temperament and/or body you have massively damaged or we euthanise it because the damage is too extensive. start treating wildlife like wild animals rather than a dog or cat. they’re not pets, they’re not domesticated, leave them alone and let them live happy lives as they’re supposed to.
